Skillet Cornbread
Ingredients:
2 tablespoon butter
1 1/4 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup flour, all-purpose
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup milk
1 unit egg
1/4 cup maple syrup
Instructions:
Place the butter in a 9” oven-proof skillet. Heat the oven to 400°F
and place the skillet in the oven to preheat.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients (cornmeal, all-purpose
flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda). Using a wooden spoon or
whisk, stir to blend. In a second mixing bowl, combine wet ingredients
(buttermilk, milk, egg, and maple syrup). Blend well.
Carefully, using pot holders or mitts, take the skillet out of the oven
and gently tilt the pan to swirl the butter around the sides. Pour the
extra butter into the wet ingredients and replace skillet in oven. Stir
together the wet and dry ingredients until just blended.
Remove skillet one more time, pour batter in, and spread evenly. Bake at
400°F for 30-40 minutes, or until nicely browned on top.
Serve with a pat of butter and honey on top, next to some nice, local
soup.
